- SC//Platform is a platform for running applications at the edge, with all of the software, hardware, and services needed. Regardless of the user's hardware requirements, the same innovative software, SC//HyperCore, and SC//Fleet Manager help to run infrastructure efficiently at scale
- Scale Computing HyperCore saves resources because its software, servers, and storage are in a fully integrated platform that power infrastructure regardless of the hardware configuration.
- Scale Computing Fleet Manager is a cloud-hosted monitoring and management tool built for hyperconverged edge computing infrastructure at scale. It can be used to monitor and manage an entire fleet of clusters running Scale Computing HyperCore. For IT Managers with multiple clusters, maintenance time can be reduced.
- This document describes the technology, concepts and operating theory behind the Scale Computing HyperCore OS that powers it, including the SCRIBE (Scale Computing Reliable Independent Block Engine) storage layer.

Ease of Updates: Users have appreciated the simplicity of performing updates on the Scale Computing Platform, noting that it only requires a single button to push, allowing for efficient streamlining. This has saved users valuable time and effort and has helped them to stay current with software enhancements seamlessly.
Efficient Deployment: Reviewers have highlighted the easy and fast deployment of new servers on the platform, i.e. requiring zero additional space or power making the setup hassle-free. The efficiency in deployment has been crucial for users looking to expand their infrastructure rapidly without complications or delays.
Robust Backup Solutions: Users value the robust backup solutions available on the Scale Computing Platform, mentioning the ease of creating multiple scheduled backups for machines and the speed at which fresh installations can be brought up. This reliability has instilled confidence in users regarding data protection and disaster recovery capabilities.
UI Design: Several users have criticized the UI for its lack of aesthetics and impractical focus, suggesting it could be made more visually appealing and user-friendly. Others have felt that the current design prioritizes aesthetics over functionality, although they acknowledge ongoing improvements in this aspect.
Backup Functionality: Users have expressed frustration over the absence of a backup API, which forces VMs to be managed like physical machines, leading to various limitations and inefficiencies. They note that treating VMs as physical machines due to the lack of a dedicated backup API results in challenges related to data protection and recovery processes.
Logging and Monitoring Features: Many reviewers have pointed out the deficiency in logging and auditing capabilities visible to customers, highlighting a need for improved transparency and accountability within the platform. Users emphasize the importance of having robust logging features for tracking system activities and ensuring compliance with security standards.

Scale Computing Customer's Review
Scale Computing HC3: Believe the Hype.
Hyper Converged with limited time and staffing
Absolute best hyper-converged system on a budget
Medium Size School Using Scale Computing HC3
A partner perspective
Nutanix no longer addressed the SMB market very well or edge-computing.
Scale Computing addresses both very well.
Scale Computing HC3 exceeds your requirements because they’re outside of the box
Nutanix failed in the areas of support, cost, and if we were to choose their solution within our budget the scalability was lost.
Pivot3 and Simplivity both failed our requirements because they require VMWare which was an expense we wanted to avoid. And even for companies that have already made that investment stop and give thought to what you’re saving the business with consideration to eliminating that piece.
